An apprentice can help your business
There are lots of reasons to employ an apprentice. The bottom
line is that skills make the difference between winning and losing
contracts and apprentices are the people that will help businesses
through the downturn and prepare for the future. That's why so many
of your competitors are looking to employ them. Increasingly,
contracts demand specific qualifications from workers and
apprentices are working towards these.
So what are the benefits?
CITB-ConstructionSkills are the best provider in the UK for
apprenticeships and outperform all colleges and other training
providers across all sectors.
Here are some of the facts:
- Apprentices will be qualified to at least SVQ/NVQ level 2 or
3
(SCQF levels 5-6)
- Grants available of up to £9000
- We'll pay all college, awarding body and examination fees
- Lodgings and travel costs for apprentices may be provided
- You'll be supported by a dedicated apprenticeship officer
- Government funding is put into the industry to ensure long term
sustainability of the sector
- We can assist towards getting your workforce appropriate
competence cards

quality applicants.
When times are tough, competition for contracts is even tougher.
That's when an extra pair of well trained hands can make a
difference. Previous recessions prove that those who develop
skills during the downturn come out of it in a much stronger
position.
